| 0:10.0 | Hello and welcome to this week's Dividend Cafe recording here from the Newport Beach Studio, where I am excited to talk to you today about value investing and in a way talk about value |
| 0:24.8 | investing by talking about growth investing and unpack some of the things that are happening |
| 0:30.5 | right now that I believe reflect some real concerns in many investors mentality. |
| 0:41.2 | The goal out of today's talk will be to reinforce very time-tested principles and do so with a little bit of a more recent history overview that I think |
| 0:48.8 | will be useful in us understanding risk and reward in the context of these terms of value and growth. I don't believe |
| 0:59.0 | the investors have fully walked away from caring about value, putting it a little differently, |
| 1:04.5 | caring about valuation, but I do believe that they're caring about it right now in a, shall we |
